In our search for the perfect flooring solution for damp rooms, we often come across technical terms such as the R-value. But what does this mysterious designation really mean?

The R-value, also known as the slip resistance value, is used to indicate the degree of slipperiness or anti-slip properties of a floor surface. The higher the R-value, the greater the slip resistance and thus the less slippery the surface is. With mosaic tiles, then, the R-value is an important factor to consider when choosing tiles for your bathroom or other wet areas.

Both R10 and R11 are ratings for non-slip tiles, but they differ in their slip resistance levels:

• R10: This is a basic level of slip resistance and is often used in areas where there is little exposure to water or other liquids. It is suitable for dry and damp conditions and light foot traffic, such as in homes or some commercial areas. The Kasba collection features a slip resistance rating of R10

• R11: This rating indicates a higher slip resistance than R10. Tiles rated R11 are more suitable for areas where there is exposure to water, such as bathrooms, kitchens or outdoor areas. They offer better grip even when the surface is wet. The London collection has an R11 slip resistance rating.

Choosing the right slip resistance class depends on the specific application and expected exposure to moisture. It is important to select the right class to prevent accidents due to slipping, especially in areas where the floor may get wet regularly.

There are many different types of mosaic tiles at mosaiektegelwinkel.nl, so it is important to do proper research and compare different options before making a purchase.

In a nutshell, the R-value of mosaic tiles is a crucial factor when choosing tiles for the floor of your bathroom or other wet areas. An R-value of 10 or higher is recommended to prevent slipping. For areas that are regularly wet and require extra grip, it is advisable to choose mosaic tiles with an R11 rating.
